You can get Rizla's in Vancouver, apparently.

Re: Calling all smoker's

The cigarette store attached to our local Atlantic Superstore is called 'Holy Smokes'

I am not a smoker either and am so glad it's banned in public places in Nova Scotia

Otherwise there's a "smokers shop" at my local mall, possibly something similar wherever you are?

If you happen to by in craptastic northern New York State, there is this place

http://goo.gl/maps/Cov2

that sells cheap gas (name brand) and cigarettes (can't remember the exact prices but I think about $2/pack rings a bell...they are no name and you get a bigger discount if you buy a bag of them...loose not in packs)....coffee is a $1 a cup (no tax)......

Quite the place....the restaurant looks dodgy.

Not sure of the legal status of loose american sourced ciggies as "duty free". I suspect they are just as illegal as those got on reserve here.

Upstate NY and Southern SE Ontario are pretty much the same area especially in First Nations terms. Probably the same ciggies from the same place?

Re: Calling all smoker's

Nova Scotia is a strange place..

I'm a non Christian & although it only damages the rationality of those that indulge it it's peculiar corpse/ghost worship I am pushing for it to be banned in all public places..

Quick edit to add that the title of this thread is "calling all smokers" & not "calling all over-opinionated & judgmental twats who constantly chip in on subjects of which they know nothing"...

I don't want people that believe they gain magic powers by pretending to eat human flesh & drink human blood pushing their insanity on innocent passers by...

I've got kids for f***s sake!

Re: Calling all smoker's

Are you often stopped in the street to have religion pushed upon you? More than say politics, or charity fund raising, or consumer poling?

My wife's catholic (I love her anyway), I sometimes get dragged along. Even in church no one pushes their views upon me. I wonder about you pushing your views on your kids and others... just as bad really. Fanatics are fanatics, regardless of which side of an issue they are on. I guess I just dont get excitable about things.
